Are you a business leader pulled away from running and growing your company because legal responsibility keeps landing on your desk?

Are you getting technically sound advice from outside counsel, but still left wondering how to apply it in the real world across teams, timelines, and competing priorities?

Are you ready for seasoned in-house legal leadership, but not ready or interested in committing to a full-time hire? 

The solution: Liburdi Law.

Our Fractional General Counsel services give you access to an experienced former General Counsel (GC) who operates as part of your leadership team, but without the overhead or commitment of a full-time role. 

Unlike traditional outside counsel who focus narrowly on discrete legal questions, a Fractional GC sees the full picture: legal, operational, financial, and strategic. With ongoing, embedded legal leadership, a Fractional GC understands how your business actually works and tailors her advice accordingly. The result is actionable advice that moves business forward, not memos that sit in your inbox.

As a former GC and former business consultant, Andrea Liburdi brings executive-level judgment, business context, and hands-on execution to growing companies on a flexible, as-needed basis.
